That guy looks like he trains too slowly. He'd be even faster if he sped up is long runs, ran fewer miles at an easy pace, and started doing intervals all-out---until he was totally depleted. How else could he expect to get faster, right?

I took 2 ibuprofen earlier and am going for a long run tonight. And I'm not kidding.

"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher

"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clearheadedness that follow a long run." -Monte Davis
